Sending and receiving cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin requires sharing wallet addresses. But one wrong digit could mean losing your funds forever.
That‘s why over 89 million active Binance users are careful to locate and verify wallet addresses properly. With over $6 billion in crypto assets on the platform, caution is necessary.
In this comprehensive guide, you‘ll learn:
- Step-by-step instructions for finding any coin address
- How to specifically locate BTC and BNB wallet addresses
- Tips to keep your transactions secure
- What to do if you encounter issues
Let‘s dig in so you can trade crypto with confidence.
Why Correct Wallet Addresses Matter
Cryptocurrency wallet addresses are long strings of letters and numbers specific to each coin.
For example, a Bitcoin address looks like this:
bc1q7jwt549h7amwa2ttwwec6st4zpvgvhsr3ftjqy
Meanwhile, a BNB (Binance Coin) address follows a different format:
bnb1grft97mcye688wqfamzspedlj639nyht23pyq7
So if you accidentally send Bitcoin to a BNB address, or vice versa, your funds will be lost.
According to Binance data, roughly 1 in 20 crypto transactions involve incorrect wallet addresses. That‘s why it‘s critical to triple check you have the right address.
Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Any Coin‘s Wallet Address
Follow these exact steps:
Step 1) Log Into Your Binance Account
- Navigate to Binance.com
- Click "Log In" then enter your email and password
- Verify login through 2FA if you have it enabled
Once logged in, you‘ll see your dashboard.
Step 2) Locate Your Fiat & Spot Wallet
- Click "Wallet" on top navigation bar
- Select "Fiat and Spot" from the dropdown
This houses all your cryptocurrency balances.
Step 3) Search for the Coin
- In search bar, type the cryptocurrency
- For example: "Bitcoin" or "BNB"
- This highlights the coin in your balances
Step 4) Click "Deposit"
- Tap the three dots icon next to coin
- Choose "Deposit" option from menu
This opens your wallet address.
Step 5) Copy Wallet Address
- You‘ll see address under "Address" header
- Click duplicate button to copy
- Send to the person transmitting the funds
Remember to triple check you‘ve selected the appropriate coin before copying the address.
Now let‘s look at Bitcoin and Binance Coin specifically.
How to Find Your Bitcoin (BTC) Address
Want to receive Bitcoin? Follow these steps:
- Complete steps 1-4 to access Bitcoin deposit page
- Confirm "BTC" network is selected
- Copy wallet address below BTC tab
- Verify address matches Bitcoin format
- Send to the sender
Critical: Verify the BTC network to avoid losing money.
Here‘s an example BTC wallet address again:
bc1q7jwt549h7amwa2ttwwec6st4zpvgvhsr3ftjqy
If the address doesn‘t start with "bc1q", it‘s not Bitcoin.
How to Locate Your BNB (Binance Coin) Address
Need your BNB wallet address instead? Here‘s how:
- Follow steps 1-4 to access BNB coin
- Ensure BNB network is selected
- Copy address below BNB tab
- Confirm address matches BNB format
- Send address to person transmitting BNB
For reference, BNB addresses look like this:
bnb1grft97mcye688wqfamzspedlj639nyht23pyq7
See how it starts with "bnb1"? That‘s how you recognize Binance Coin.
Test with a tiny amount first – say 0.001 BTC or 0.01 BNB – before asking the sender to transmit the full balance. This protects against getting the address wrong.
